I found an offer at Etisalat, for colo - 100Mbps but limited bandwidth at probably 10 or 15GB only. Still not enough for a node with multiple vps's. Let alone they charge approx 700 Dirhams, (~190USD) for it.

Still bad. I really am looking to expand locally, within the UAE - the datacenter has to be accessible easily. Cant afford to go to the KSA every day hhhh

There is only 3 Options in the region that are reasonable. there is KSA which will get you a 100Mbps pipe for around $300 + a month, there is Turkey (Around $200+ ) and there is the zionist entity ($150 ish)

@liam said: I guess he just means the Israeli people who are persecuting the Palestinan people not all the jewish people...
You're an intelligent person surely you can't agree with the persecution of the Palestinans?

As far as i am concerned they can have their own state and the Israelis should just give them the Westbank and Gaza (we have no use for it anyway, why build houses and fight for a large desert, there is not even oil) and we can just split Jerusalem in half (like Bosnia did with their capital).
Other than that i don't care about Israel or the politics down there (the beaches are nice tho to swim), i still wonder when the next war happens (who wins it is anyway fixed, mainly because one side thas the americans behind it - However i would like to see what happens if a KSA-Israel war breaks out, the US are in a bad situation then and both sides have nuclear weapons which they say they don't have)

@liam said: If he was born in HK, I wonder if he can claim a British passport..

Since you can't hold 2 EU citizenships as the same time (BOC is considered EU citizen, even without the right to abode in UK IIRC): no.
I know a few (older) friends thogh that have EU and BOC citizenship, along with HK citizencards (which is like a permanent visa with the right to settle)
So it looks it is possible, but only if grandfathered AND acquired before the EU existed in it todays form.
